"Ink & Insight: 20 Years of Adam Zyglis Cartoons" Exhibition

From the Buffalo History Museum

For the past two decades, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Adam Zyglis has created more than 4,000 pieces of visual commentary for The Buffalo News, keeping his pen on the pulse of local, national, and international news. 

Zyglis has carried on this important tradition of free expression, after his Pulitzer-winning predecessors Tom Toles and Bruce Shanks, with a focus on comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable. 

Day in and day out, Zyglis has employed wit, biting satire, and caricature to direct our attention to hard truths and injustice, with the ultimate goal of pushing society forward.

This 20-year retrospective collection of dozens of his cartoons, spans four presidents and five governors.

Henry Payne charged with drawing “racist” cartoon

From The Detroit Metro Times. 

Henry Payne, a Detroit News auto industry reporter who moonlights as a political cartoonist is being criticized for appearing to imply that U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib is a member of Hezbollah, which critics have labeled as “racist,” “xenophobic,” “vile,” and “disgusting.”

The illustration depicts Tlaib at her desk next to the charred remains of an electronic device with a thought balloon reading, “Odd, my pager just exploded.” 

The cartoon is a reference to a recent attack against the Lebanese organization Hezbollah that is believed to have been orchestrated by Israel, in which beepers and walkie-talkies were modified to act as remote-controlled explosives.
